Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "SARVE DEVAAH STHITA DEHE
                     SARVA DEVAMAYEEHI GAOU"

Thloka means that ‘all the Deities dwell in the body of a cow’. Therefore the cow itself is as holier, as the Deities. In Hindu mythology, Kamadhenu is a divine cow.

Kamadhenu , the sacred wish-cow grants all wishes and desires.

This divine cow, which lives in Swargalok (Heaven), emerged from

the Ocean of Milk (ksheerasagar) at the time of Samudramanthan. During the course of time it went into the possession of Sage Vasishta.

Every part of Kamadhenu’s body has a religious significance. It’s four legs symbolize the four Vedas, and its teats the fourPurusharthas. It’s Horns symbolize the Gods, it’s face symbolize the Sun and the Moon, It’s shoulders Agni and its legs the Himalayas.

Kamadhenu is also well-known through its other five forms:Nanda,

Sunanda, Surabhi, Susheela and Sumana. 
The worshipper can keep Kamadhenu at Home or Office.
